Home and Not Starting too Quick

Star Quilt Patterns for YOU !

We took a fantastic vacation, returned home, laundry, sleep and re-entry to the real world.
I had visions of posts and ideas…..BUT mother nature had another thought ! Our condo building was hit by lighting, after we returned (Florida’s the lighting capital) it hit our cable, internet lines and blow my PC Computer, printer and TV  cable boxes. 
Off to the repair guy…. not repairable, off to get my laptop and thank goodness all was able to be moved to it…. I had a lot backed up on USB, but of course not everything…. I hope to get back into a schedule here again, the hard part is finding everything…But, that will come too ???? in the mean time ! 

Here is a page for a few of my Star Quilt Patterns
